Amadeus
Perhaps it is due to the occasion of the 250th anniversary of his birth, but I find that these days I cannot get enough of the music of Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. There was time when, as a college kid, thinking that the end all and be all of orchestral music was Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich, whom I still love despite his being a Commie, I dismissed Mozart's music as being merely "pretty." What a serious misunderestimation I made!

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
